General Requirements
3.1
RSS-Gen Compliance
RSS-119
RSS-119 shall be used in conjunction with RSS-Gen, General Requirements for Compliance of Radio
Apparatus, for general specifications and information relevant to the equipment covered by this
standard.
3.2
Transmitters With External Frequency Selection Controls
In order to prevent radio interference caused by end-user transmissions on unauthorized frequencies,
transmitters with external frequency selection controls and/or frequency programming capability shall
conform to the following:
(a) Transmitters with external frequency selection controls shall operate only on authorized channels
which have been preset by the manufacturer, equipment supplier, service technician or maintenance
personnel.
(b) Transmitters with frequency programming capability must have at least one of the following
design characteristics, which prevent the user from altering the preset frequencies:
(1) Transmitters with external controls available to the user can only be internally modified to place
the equipment in the programmable mode. Furthermore, while in the programmable mode, the
equipment is not capable of transmitting. The procedure for making the modification and altering
the frequency program is not available to the user of the equipment.
(2) Transmitters are programmed for frequencies through controls that are inaccessible to the user.
(3) Transmitters are programmed for frequencies through the use of external devices or specifically
programmed modules that are available only to the service technician or maintenance personnel.
(4) Transmitters are programmed through cloning (i.e., copying a program directly from another
transmitter) using devices and procedures that are available only to the service technician or
maintenance personnel.
4.
Measurement Methods
The transmitter shall be operated at the manufacturer’s rated power and tested in accordance with the
measurement method described in RSS-Gen with signals modulated as follows:
(a) If the audio input signal is voice and the transmitter is FM, the transmitter shall be modulated with a
2.5 kHz tone at a level 16 dB higher than that required to produce 50% of the maximum frequency
deviation.
3
Land Mobile and Fixed Equipment
Operating in the Frequency Range 27.41-960 MHz
RSS-119
(b) For all other transmitters, a signal representative (i.e., typical) of those encountered in a real system
operation shall be used. If the transmission is not continuous, this must be indicated in the test
report.
4.1
Transmitter Output Power
Measure and record the transmitter output power using a measurement (resolution) bandwidth at least
two to three times the width of the occupied bandwidth for transmitters equipped with masks D and E to
capture the true peak emission of the equipment under test. For transmitters equipped with other masks,
a measurement bandwidth wider than the occupied bandwidth of the transmitter shall be used.
4.2
Transmitter Unwanted Emissions
When the transmitter unwanted emissions are being measured, a sufficient number of sweeps must be
measured to ensure that the emission profile is developed. The video bandwidth shall be at least
three times the width of the instrument resolution bandwidth.
For transmitters that do not produce a full power unmodulated carrier, reference to the unmodulated
carrier power refers to the total output power contained in the occupied bandwidth when the transmitter
is modulated with signals representative of those encountered in a real system operation.
4.2.1
Emission Masks B, C, G, I and J
Unwanted emission measurements can be in peak or averaging mode, provided that the same parameter,
peak power or average power, used for the transmitter’s output power measurement is also used for the
unwanted emission measurements.
Except where otherwise stated, on any frequency removed from the carrier frequency by more than
250% of the authorized bandwidth, a resolution bandwidth of at least 100 kHz must be used for
frequencies to be measured at or below 1 GHz, and a resolution bandwidth of at least 1 MHz must be
used for frequencies to be measured above 1 GHz. If a narrower resolution bandwidth is used, power
integration shall be applied.
4.2.2
Emission Masks D, E, F and Y
In order to show compliance with the emission mask up to and including 50 kHz removed from the edge
of the authorized bandwidth, adjust the resolution bandwidth to 100 Hz with the measuring instrument in
a peak mode. For emissions beyond 50 kHz from the edge of the authorized bandwidth, the resolution
bandwidth shall be 100 kHz for frequencies at or below 1 GHz, and 1 MHz for frequencies above
1 GHz. However, for emission mask F, at a displacement frequency of less than 3.75 kHz, the resolution
bandwidth shall be 30 Hz.

RSS-119
Adjacent Channel Power (ACP) Measurement for Equipment in the Bands 768-776 MHz
and 798-806 MHz
The ACP measurements shall be made with a spectrum analyzer capable of making direct ACP
measurements. For all measurements, modulate the transmitter signal as it would be modulated in
normal operating conditions. For time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, the measurements are
to be taken under TDMA operation only during time slots when the transmitter is active. All
measurements are taken at the transmitter output port.
(1) Reference power level
Set the transmitter to its maximum output power. Set the spectrum analyzer’s measurement bandwidth to
the channel size. For example, for a 50 kHz transmitter, set the measurement bandwidth to 50 kHz. Set
the frequency offset of the measurement bandwidth to zero and adjust the centre frequency of the
instrument to the assigned centre frequency to measure the average power level of the transmitter.
Record this power level in dBm as the reference power level.
(2) Non-swept power measurement
Set the spectrum analyzer’s measurement bandwidth and the frequency offset from the assigned centre to
the values shown in the tables in Section 5.8.9 according to the equipment’s channel size. With a
resolution bandwidth of less than 2% of the measurement bandwidth, measure the power level in dBm.
These measurements shall be made at the transmitter’s maximum power. The ACP measured in this step
shall be lower than the reference power level as measured in (1) above by an amount greater than or
equal to the absolute value of the maximum relative ACP given in the tables in Section 5.8.9.
(3) Swept power measurement
Set the spectrum analyzer to 30 kHz resolution bandwidth, 1 MHz video bandwidth and average
detection. Set the reference power level of the spectrum analyzer to the average value of the transmitter
power, as measured in (1) above. Sweep above and below the carrier frequency to the limits defined in
the tables in Section 5.8.9 according to the equipment’s channel bandwidth. The ACP measured in this
step shall be lower than the reference power level by an amount greater than or equal to the absolute
value of the maximum relative ACP given in the tables in Section 5.8.9.

Transmitter and Receiver Specifications
5.1
Interface Impedance
The preferred impedance is a resistive load of 600 ohms for audio frequencies, and 50 ohms for radio
frequencies.

5.2
RSS-119
Types of Modulation
Equipment that operates in the bands 768-776 MHz and 798-806 MHz shall use digital modulation.
Mobile and portable transmitters that operate in these bands may have analogue modulation capability
only as a secondary mode in addition to their primary digital mode. However, mobile and portable
transmitters that operate only on the low-power channels as defined in SRSP-511 may employ any type
of modulation.
5.3
Transmitter Frequency Stability
The carrier frequency shall not depart from the reference frequency in excess of the values given in
Table 1. For transmitters that have an output power of less than 120 mW, the frequency stability shall
comply with the limits listed in Table 1 or, alternatively, with the conditions in Section 5.10.
For fixed and base station equipment, in lieu of meeting the frequency stability limit specified in
Table 1, the test report can show that the frequency stability is met by demonstrating that the unwanted
emission limits, related to the equipment’s nominal carrier frequency measured under normal operation,
are met when the equipment is tested at the temperature and supply voltage variations specified for the
frequency stability measurement in RSS-Gen.

N/A
Mobile units may use synchronizing signals from associated base stations to achieve the
specified carrier stability.
This provision is for digital equipment with a channel bandwidth of 25 kHz and an occupied
bandwidth greater than 20 kHz. The mobile station’s frequency stability values given in
Table 1 are for mobile, portable and control transmitters using automatic frequency control
(AFC) to lock onto the base station signal. When the mobile, portable and control transmitters
7
Land Mobile and Fixed Equipment
Operating in the Frequency Range 27.41-960 MHz
RSS-119
are operating without using AFC to lock onto the base station signal, the frequency stability
limit shall be better than 1 kHz and the equipment’s unwanted emissions measured with
maximum frequency shift shall still comply with emission mask Y (Section 5.8.10) at nominal
carrier frequency.
3.
Mobile, portable and control transmitters operating in the bands 768-776 MHz and
798-806 MHz must normally use AFC to lock onto the base station signal. The mobile station’s
frequency stability values given in Table 1 are for mobile stations operating under this
condition.
4.
When the mobile, portable and control transmitters are operating with channel bandwidths
equal to 6.25 kHz, 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz in the band 768-776 MHz and the AFC is not locked
onto the base station signal, the frequency stability must be equal to or better than 1 ppm for
6.25 kHz, 1.5 ppm for 12.5 kHz (2-channel aggregate), and 2.5 ppm for 25 kHz (4-channel
aggregate).
5.
When the mobile, portable and control transmitters are operating with channel bandwidths
equal to 50 kHz in the band 768-776 MHz and the AFC is not locked onto the base station
signal, the frequency stability must be equal to or better than 5 ppm.
6.
Control stations may operate with the frequency stability specified for associated mobile
frequencies.
5.4
Transmitter Output Power
The output power shall be within ±1 dB of the manufacturer’s rated power listed in the equipment
specifications.
The transmitter output power limits set forth in Table 2 will come into force upon the publication of
Issue 12 of this standard and will apply to newly certified equipment.

Channel Bandwidth, Authorized Bandwidth, Occupied Bandwidth and Spectrum Masks
For the purpose of this document, channel bandwidth is the channel width in which the equipment is
designed to operate.
The maximum permissible occupied bandwidth shall not exceed the authorized bandwidth specified in
Table 3 for the equipment’s frequency band. The authorized bandwidth is defined as the maximum
width of the band of frequencies used to derive spectrum masks and is not necessarily equivalent to the
bandwidth found on radio and spectrum licences.
The channel bandwidths, authorized bandwidths and spectrum masks are given in Table3 for equipment
having an output power greater than 120 mW. For equipment with an output power that does not exceed
120 mW, Section 5.10 applies.

The bands 217-218 MHz and 219-220 MHz are each segmented into 80 channels, with
carrier frequencies evenly spaced at 12.5 kHz, the first and last carrier frequencies being
6.25 kHz from the band edges. Note: Equipment may be certified to operate in the entire
band 217-220 MHz, but the sub-band 218-219 MHz may not be available for licensing.
5.5.3
The bands 462-463 MHz and 467-468 MHz are to be used for licence-exempt Family Radio
Service (FRS) and General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS). RSS-210 is to be used for
equipment certification.
5.5.4
The bands 768-776 MHz and 798-806 MHz are designated for use by public safety services.
See SRSP-511 for channel assignments.
Transmitters using digital modulation shall be capable of having a minimum data rate of
4.8 kbps per 6.25 kHz bandwidth or one voice channel per 12.5 kHz bandwidth.
5.5.5
The bands 821-824/866-869 MHz are to be used only for public safety purposes. The
channelling plan is given in SRSP-502.
5.5.6

Fixed Equipment With an Occupied Bandwidth Larger Than the Authorized Bandwidth
Permitted in This Standard
Fixed equipment requiring an occupied bandwidth larger than the authorized bandwidth shown in
Table 3 may be permitted if that the equipment complies with the three following conditions:
(1) The equipment is allowed to have aggregate channels as per the SRSP for its operating frequency
bands.
(2) The ERP shall not be increased with increased occupied bandwidth.
(3) The equipment shall employ an emission mask that does not result in more adjacent channel
interference than the standard narrowband channel equipment emission mask specified in Table 3.
5.7
Equivalent Channels
When a 25/30 kHz channel of a transmitter carries several voice channels to meet the required spectrum
efficiency of one voice channel in a 12.5 kHz bandwidth, the physical channel is still 25/30 kHz.
Therefore, the equipment shall comply with the requirements for equipment with a 25/30 kHz channel
bandwidth, such as the requirements related to the authorized bandwidth, spectrum mask and frequency
stability.
5.8
Transmitter Unwanted Emissions
The spectrum plots of the unwanted emissions shall comply with the masks specified in Table 3.
Descriptions of these permissible emission masks are given in the sections that follow.

Transmitters With an Output Power not Exceeding 120 mW
Transmitters that have an output power that does not exceed 120 mW are exempt from the emission
masks of Section 5.8, the transient frequency behaviour of Section 5.9, and the frequency stability limits
of Section 5.3 provided that they comply with the following:
The sum of the bandwidth occupied by the emitted signal plus the bandwidth required for frequency
stability shall be adjusted so that any emission appearing on a displacement frequency, fd, from the
assigned frequency as shown in Table 19 is attenuated below the unmodulated carrier power by at least
30 dB, when measured with a resolution bandwidth of 300 Hz. If the unmodulated carrier power is not
available, the modulated transmitter output power can be used instead. The transmitter output power is
measured or integrated over its occupied bandwidth.
